tickets & fares
The Elf Explorer is a calendar highlight for volunteers, staff, and customers at The Keighley & Worth Valley. Tickets are always very popular and expect to sell out quickly; there are no more to be added. Once they are gone, they are gone!

Car Parking at Oxenhope Station is £4.00 for a timed slot and is pre-bookable only.
The ticket price includes free travel on the Diesel Train or Special Bus Service, so you can travel locally to Oxenhope without using a car.
When purchasing your Elf Explorer Tickets, you can also pre-book drinks to collect from a ‘fast track’ lane at the bar. There is no on-train bar this year, so if you fancy a festive tipple, you will need to visit the bar.
You can pre-order from a selection of drinks, including:
- Real Ale Pint – Worth Valley Pale & Christmas Ale
- Bottled Real Ale – Landlord, Landlord Dark & Boltmaker
- Draught Lager
- Bottled Lager – Budweiser Budvar & Krombacher
- Wine (750ml & 187ml)
- Prosecco (750ml & 200ml)
- Baileys Mini (50ml)
- Gin & Tonic
This year, we have a limited number of Accessibility Seats. The railway uses rolling stock from the 1950s and 60s, but we have converted one of our coaches to have Accessibility Seating.
You can learn more information and how to book on the Accessibility Page.
If you want to book for more than 20 people on Elf Explorer, you can contact our booking office by emailing bookings@kwvr.co.uk. We will do our best, but tickets sell fast and getting large groups together can be tricky!
